Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Sure, Robert already mentioned it this morning, but it bears repeating: The people that brought you the “C’mon, Lebron” song (and its remix) are at it again this week, this time presenting Dallas Mavericks fans with a song that aims to keep Drik Nowitzki in a Mavs jersey during the ever-tumultuous NBA free agency period, which started yesterday.
Credit KESN-103.3 FM ESPN Dallas’ Ben Rogers, of the Ben & Skin show, plus his collaborators in the Dallas String Quartet, for the new track, called “DFW Digs Dirk.” It’s a classic white-boy reggae take, which, yes, is somewhat annoying. But you can’t really argue with lyrics like “You’ve revolutionized the 4, a 7-footer hitting threes galore.” Give the song a listen–and a download, if you like–after the jump. It’s all part of a Mavericks-backed promotion to encourage fans to get on board with pressuring Dirk to stick around.
If nothing else, it’s the second-best Dirk-related song we’ve heard. Perhaps you remember this gem, “Courtside,” which Dirk may or may not have recorded around April 1, 2006.
